Sago took a little too much cold.
My sagos took a little too much cold. Especially the ones in pots. I didn't water them before the front as adequately as I should have. Hasn't been the first time maybe we'll be the last.
hope that beauty Sago pulls through! How cold was it?

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

Caudex is fine I think-
definitely showing the minimum (F) leaf tolerance!

But I thought they'd handle more cold if the soil was dry (versus recently watered)
Isn't that why we withhold water from our planted out stuff in Fall? to prepare for winter cold?

Drier soil is part of it but also inducing drought conditions well
before winter so the plants growth(slows)/cell walls are thicker.

Hi Lori,Lori wrote:Hello, Dean
I see you posted this almost a month ago and I hope I'm not too late but don't throw away your cycad. Just cut off the leaves and let it rest, and more than likely it will throw a new set of leaves this summer. I have had cycads go dormant for up to three years and then start flushing!
No, I didn't throw them out. I've started cutting off some of the fronds and applied a mild fertilizer. Wow! I can't believe they would survive for up to three years.
I was thinking of getting rid of them though. Maybe make room for something else.

Hi, Dean
It's funny you say that (about giving them away). I have been given a few sagos over the years for that exact reason. I stick them in my grenehouse and ignore them and eventually they flush out again. But I can certainly understand why someone would not want to wait a few years for something to happen, if their space is limited. There are so many beautiful cycads and so little time...

Hey Lori,
How many cycads do you carry and how big is your greenhouse? I think I counted 13 on your web page.
To bad were not closer I would give them to you.

Okay, let me know when you'll be down. Will have a heck of a time digging though.
